#Old Debts

Tma au where nothing is wrong ever and Jon gets to pet as many cats as he likes

#tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #tim stoker #sasha james #its just an office comedy at this point #idk the horrors are still there but now it's the horrors of genuinely needing a masters for archival sciences #BE SO FR what the hells is the point of a masters #listen this is my gripe about the educational ladder you have to climb in order to even think about going to library sciences #and getting some sort of guaranteed work off it #oh martin got through alright by lying but he got real lucky with this boss being a literal cult leader #but nooooo I have to finish my bachelors and get another 30k or so in debt BAR student finance #as if med school isnt already a scam!!! #and furthermore-- #oh old art tag

So, I started watching Link Click...

#poorly drawn link click #Link Click #cheng xiaoshi #lu guang #I am only at episode 4 - waiting to watch the rest with my buddy (It's been few weeks and I'm vibrating! I really enjoy it!) #btw I am 100% blind for this show! All I know is that it's Good and Tragic. So NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!! #Once again I am in Clintbeefwood's debt for the recommendation. #I am so intrigued and hooked by this show. I have also nearly cried at every episode so far. #I already feel so many comic ideas buzzing at the back of my brain! #This one is inspired by the end of episode two. Because what the hell was that energy at the end of the episode? #Also the fondness of which they played basketball together. #I am 80% sure they will not kiss nor have romantic inclinations but I enjoy their dynamic immensely #The 20% doubt comes from the very queer coded old lady yuri episode + the inherent homoerotism of doomed timeline stories. #If they do kiss you I'm drawing them making out sloppy style because I *know* one of them is going to die very shortly afterwards.

I love how horrible histories had Mat Baynton sing a parody of a song by The Smiths as Charles Dickens, complaining about Dickens’s childhood as he dramatically flung a bouquet of flowers around

#the image just pops up in my mind every so often #horrible histories #horrible histories songs #mat baynton #bbc ghosts #six idiots #noo I didn’t accidentally memorise the whole thing? what? #I lived a happy life till I was ten years old #when debt landed dad in prison and our country house was sold -

Spy knew that Dell wasn't doing well, usually the Frenchman wouldn't bother since it wasn't uncommon for the Texan to be locked in his workshop for a couple of days. But it had been way more than a couple of days, and with Matilda stopping by way too often, it was a tad evident that nothing was alright with the man he adored.

And now he was at the workshop's door, he'd knock on it "Dell, I think you and I need to talk. It's a serious matter, one I would rather discuss with you in private."

@emotionally-composed-spy

It was eerily silent for a long, concerning moment, the buzzing of the florescent lights above filling the silence.

Then, movement was heard within the workshop. Something shuffling against the ground, the clatter of something falling against the concrete floor, and a muffled voice none other than Dell. It took another minute before footsteps approached the door, and after multiple clicks of deadbolts unlocking, the metal door swung open just a tad, revealing the engineer.

“Whut’ss th’ matter? Sumthin’ happenin’?” Dell asked with a croak, speech slightly slurred and groggy like the man had just woken up. Judging from his disheveled appearance; hair flattened on one side, a red mark on the same side of his face where he had been laying his head on, and dark bags peeking out from under his goggles, that was likely the case.

“What a delightful library you have at Pemberley, Mr Darcy!”

“It ought to be good,” he replied, “it has been the work of many generations.”

“And then you have added so much to it yourself, you are always buying books.”

“I cannot comprehend the neglect of a family library in such days as these.”

This conversation is intriguing because, as is often the case in P&P, there is so little narrative framing or comment that you have to make quite a few assumptions based on how you read the characters. We don’t even hear Elizabeth’s reaction to this interchange and don’t know how she takes it (though when Darcy later tries to talk to her about books, she’s sure that their tastes are so wildly different that they won’t have anything to talk about).

In any case, both fans and critics have come away with a lot of different interpretations of Darcy’s book-buying sprees and, in particular, what he means by “such days as these.”

I just read an article that dismissively characterized it as a stuffy civilization-is-falling-down-around-us-in-these-degenerate-times thing showing the basic conservatism of his mindset, and while that article was particularly hostile, it’s a pretty common reading. And you can read it that way, but frankly, it doesn’t seem the most natural reading in the context of either the scene or his overall characterization.

Darcy is repeatedly associated with books and reading and general intellectualism. The Pemberley library links his family pride and his sense of legacy with his personal inclinations—as an individual, he’s bookish, clever, and fairly cerebral. He reads, he buys new books, he enjoys philosophical debates, his response to Elizabeth’s assertion of their different tastes in books is “cool, then we can argue about them :D”, he encourages his teenage sister’s artistic interests and defends her disciplined approach to them when she’s not even there, he collects fine and apparently borderline-incomprehensible paintings, he’s dismissive about the expected accomplishments of upper-class women in favor of reading (partly bc Elizabeth has been reading, but it’s not surprising that a man responsible from age 23 for the education of a young girl has Thoughts on the ongoing female education debates of the time).

All of this is to say that Darcy is engaged with what was then contemporary culture and discourse. This is especially the case if you go with the time of his creation, 1796, but it doesn’t make a huge difference because these debates were still ongoing in the 1810s, and he rarely refers to specific figures and instead prefers more generally familiar concepts and arguments (or chooses to rely on those in conversation with women), and in any case, the English artistic movements of the 1810s owed a lot to those of the late eighteenth century.

And a big eighteenth-century debate was about the merits of modern art, especially literature, compared to ancient art. Historically, there was a lot of deference in English literature to ancient models and dictates, and controversy over newer forms like the novel (in English) but also in poetry and drama and essays. To some people, it seemed like art was going horribly astray by diverging from the ancients (despite the continuing strong influence of Classicism). Others thought the artistic movements of the time were fucking awesome valuable and important, which is generally Austen’s position (most famously in the defense of the novel in NA).

So when Darcy speaks of “such days as these,” I don’t think this is coming from snooty disengagement from the current literary zeitgeist, but rather, the reverse. He’s seeing all these ideas being hotly debated in various essays and treatises, and the English novel taking modern form, and poetry undergoing changes that will only become more drastic, etc etc, and thinks—this is important. Anybody with a family library should be adding the literature that’s coming out at this time.

TL;DR I think Darcy has an affinity for modern art/literature/culture in any case, but also, is so convinced of the importance of the literary “moment” he’s living in that he thinks he’d basically be shaming his ancestors if he didn’t include it in the collection that he’ll pass down to the next generation as it was passed to him.

#it's not just that people like him need to maintain family libraries with what's currently out there #but that he thinks that what's happening /right now/ is a really big deal that needs to be added for its own sake #i find it a bit weird that this reading seems unusual but some people are very committed to stuffy conservative darcy so #i do go with the c. 1796 setting which makes this fairly funny... lyrical ballads is coming out in two years #and darcy can't know that! it's just. something is going on! clearly! what is the point of being rich if you don't preserve this stuff??? #anghraine babbles #austen blogging #austen fanwank #lady anne blogging #anghraine's meta #fitzwilliam darcy #pride and prejudice #jane austen #tangentially: this is kind of associated in my head with how the preceding darcy-like characters are pretty much all 18th century #elizabeth has this whole beatrice/rosalind legacy and the debt to much ado about nothing is obvious #but darcy isn't like benedick. he's like... lord orville if he were interesting. #so he's a fairly distinctly /modern/ man in the original context where he's often now seen as a quintessential/old-fashioned figure #and it makes sense that he would have a lot of affinity with modern culture where elizabeth is more detached

If you set your alarm 45 minutes later than normal, would you be able to wake up right away? Or would you still need to snooze it for 45 minutes more?

At the risk of being a sadboi on main, I suspect that those 45 minutes of snooze button slammin’ are my way of not having to immediately face the general sense of disappointment that sucks the carpe right out of my diem.

#I think it’s also related to being a habitual night owl who’s gotten too old to get away with his sleep debt #but I bet if we examined the motivation for staying up too late we’d also find the general disappointment again #so let’s just leave that unexamined for now

Okay obviously the characters in tgcf can mature and grow and whatnot however. It's way funnier to think about hualian being forever 17

Commission Post & Info

Yes, another updated commission post ✋😑

BASICALLY, I'm trying to get ready for grad school which includes scholarships, applying, writing letters and emails, and in the end, moving to a different part of the country. I can't do any of that if my laptop won't stay on for less than a minute at a time!!! I'm still bouncing back from vet bills but now I have this new expense and the final nail in the coffin, holidays are right around the corner.

Like last time, I'm doing three slots:

1) open

2) open

3) open

I'll do A LOT!!! Please DM me if you have questions about anything at all. As long as we can compromise and you're happy with my work, I'm pretty lax and flexible when it comes to this kind of stuff!

ALSO!!! If you have seen a doodle I've done in the past and you want it, ask me about it!!!!!! I will either still have it or I can redraw it for you if I've given it to the comic shop employees. I draw my doodles to them to give them away, I don't have a problem parting with them. Please, just send me the post with the doodle and we will go from there!

If you'd like to support me but can't commission me right now, here's a link to my Ko-Fi:

Please pass this around! If you know someone who's interested, please send them this post! And if you're interested, DM me! Anything means a whole lot. Love and peace! 🕊️💛🕊️

Finally done with my Palia OC’s little info page. Ori Tian! In his past life he was a professor of philosophy with a focus on ethics who protested against unfair practices in the human government. In his new life he’s making it life mission to be a walking nightmare for the Order. Woe they will be when he remembers how to do magic.

#palia #palia fanart #palia game #Palia oc #palia mmo #he fluctuates from Fire and Water personalities the most #and plans to eventually destroy the cartel that’s been keeping Reth in debt #but he has to remember his fire magic first #was also maybe or maybe not a priest for Embra and #maintained the old Phoenix Shrine
